Rings & Things

{ p r o c e s s } First I shrink real-life people and make them just under an inch tall and then I...Just playing! These little plastic people already come shrunk :)

But
I take each little figure and I think about them... what they might
have been saying.. doing, feeling, thinking and I collage a back ground
and cut out words to create the phrase you see here...

Then I add
a little glitter to the edges... some faux tiny gems to highlight
thoughts or underline words in the phrase... and then I seal these tiny
figures with the phrase under a clear glossy resin and they have to cure
(dry) for 3 days and at last: they are ready to be worn and adorn your
outfit.

**Each ring is unique as the figures have a mind of
their own and sometime refuse to be completely sealed behind the
resin... and sometimes a their foot, or section of their torso or an
extended hand of theirs can be caught peeking through the resin...

this is intentional,

I let them be,

frozen in the resin

as they wish to be.

This is just the beginning, I have many more ideas of how to unite these tiny figures with big words and make them live in rings... & as soon as they are created, they will make a guest appearance on Le Blog.
